I can post my scatter file, but it's not going to help as the devices are different and I have no problem with mtktools, flashtool, or adb backing up each partition.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wertzPH:
i just wana see the regions where the different partitions are in..

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wertzPH:
thanks. now im more confused why mine don't work since your preloader is also in a different region.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vampirefo:
Your problem, what ever it is is beyond mtktools, this tool can't help you.

Do MTK-based devices usually have verified bootloaders?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vampirefo:
I haven't seen any what device do you have? What is it 6582 6592? 6592 is as high as mtktools support.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Master Melab:
I don't have a MediaTek-based device. I have a Motorola Droid Maxx. I've been looking for a smartphone that will allow me to run arbitrary code from startup. Samsung was a candidate, but even before they introduced Knox their first-stage bootloaders were verified by the boot ROM.

I used to see MediaTek as a company that made chips for ripoff devices and other cheap Chinese gadgets. That appears to be changing. I've figured that Chinese devices or devices using Chinese chips are less likely to be locked down at the hardware level due to the Chinese companies being in it to make a quick buck. I've also read that full dumps can be performed with MediaTek devices without having to hack anything on the device's side of things. If so, then I might be looking for a MediaTek-based device in the future.

Mind educating me about the bootstrapping scheme on MediaTek devices? Preloader and all that suff.

What does the operation_type field signify? I see several values for it: BOOTLOADERS, UPDATE, PROTECTED, BINREGION, INVISIBLE, and RESERVED.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] AlexZap:
You aren't going to find many resources on the information you are looking for. Most of what is known is all reverse engineered.

As far as the preloader goes, it exists before the boot process. It is somewhat hardware, as in a function of the SOC, and somewhat software. When the phone powers on, the SOC acts briefly as a big serial interface allowing very low level access to the memory chip and other devices. Then the software preloader takes over which runs a bit of code that pops the SOC out of its low-level serial state and pivots the boot process over to standard arm uboot. This is how you can totally kill your ROM, kill your preloader, yet still unbrick a mediatek phone if you flash it correctly.

As for operation_type, that is in the scatter. Each entry in the scatter represents a chunk of the internal memory chip, and how to allocate it. Operation_type dictates what kind of data is stored there. In effect, it is a partition map. But it tells how each section is handled. BOOTLOADER means the bootloader is here, don't touch it u less flash tool is doing a format all, UPDATE means the partition is updated on a firmware upgrade, PROTECTED is similar to bootloader, BINREGION means there is no filesystem there,it is just data.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bovirus:
[MENTION=7258134]dangerouSoul[/MENTION]

"PMT changed" error by Flashtool means that partitions reportrd in the scatter and phone partitions are different.

For this you should use Flashtool with FIRMWARE UPGRADE mode.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dangerouSoul:
A member (Kirito09) gave me SP flash tool mod and it worked like a charm =)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kirito9:
Firmware upgrade can only be used if you are flashing everything. He only wanted to flash recovery.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bovirus:
[MENTION=5515628]kirito9[/MENTION]

Could be your version of Flashtool used as standard Falshtool?

Ex. just flag a recovery and flash it in DOWNLOAD mode dalso the partition in the scatter of the ROM used for flash new recovery and the partition in teh phone are different?

What kind of mod (on which files) you made?

where did get this info?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kirito9:
Yeah it can be used as a standard, it just gets rid of that PMT changed for the ROM error that is generally an error that I think should not be there. Sometimes it's not the recovery partition that's different but something else inside the ROM eg: the system partition that's been modified and SP Flash Tool detects this as an error when it really isn't. It may just be a few Megabytes trimmed off system but it has the same scatter size.

This is not my flash tool though, I just called it mine so dangerouSoul would know what I'm talking about. I got this flashtool first from a facebook group then I later found it on 4PDA.ru.

I use it to do most of my flashing, because I modify my system partition a lot and even when I tried to recreate the scatter with droid tools, I still got that error. SP Flash Tool MOD is the best (too bad it uses old version though 3.13). :victory:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bovirus:
[MENTION=5515628]kirito9[/MENTION]

Thanks for the explanation.

I believe that could be intersting know which changes were made to enable them in next Flashtool release.

You need to let the battery die for the phone to reset. Some users say you can unplug battery to reset.

You need to charge with wall charger until red.

Now use rubber band to hold volume down button like in picture.

I am looking for Kevdliiu Quick Settings mod for Jelly Bean 4.2.2. Yes, I am aware of thread he started, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1999125 ,but there are no updates there for a long time.

I have found that mod incorporated in MMuzzy ROM 4.2.2 for Maguro. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2096538

Is it possible to just extract SystemUI and QSCP from that ROM, copy files into zip of Kevdliu and install it? Would it work?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
Make a nandroid and try! If it does then you can post it for other users. The only issue I can see if that MMuzzy's ROM is based on AOSP so probably won't work with a 'stock' ROM based on the factory image. I'd download Paul O'Brien's MCR instead as that is based on the factory image so should work in other ROMs that aren't AOSP-based
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Milaneli:
Thanks. Well, as I cant find Brien's 4.2.2 ROM for free download, I will try with MMuzzy ROM. Do you know where is located Extended Power menu? If it is in SystemUI, then it is slim chance for me to make it work with just replacing files...

Thanks, again

It's on the link I posted, just get the pre-bake (which is free, bottom of first post. Although the pre-bake is still Jr13 which isn't 4.2.2 so might not work anyway)

I9100G 4.1.2 SU-BB_Install not possible due to signature verification failure

Hello,

I tried this and failed with signiture verfication failed.

My device has the following details:

PDA:I9100GXXLSR

PHONE:I9100GXXLSP

CSC:I9100GDBTLS1

Built: Fri 25 Jan 22:53:40 KST 2013

SMP PREEMPT Fri Jan 25 23:32:01 KST 2013

Buildnummer

JZO54K.I9100GXXLSR

I searched a lot in Forums to get this solved but I failed.

Version 4.1.2 was installed with OTA and it worked fine, full wipe done etc, but now running out of Memory and I would like to investigate in the Data whats eating up the memory.

Anyhow first step is routing but I can't make it.

I tried with CWM.ZIP and others, also only SU-BB_Installer.zip but all are running in the same Error "signature verification error"

I used Total Commander and I can look using this in some subdirs of the Main directory (not in the Data Dir :()

Anyhow I looked into SBIN to find the mount command used in the update Scripts of SU-BB and others but it's not located in SBIN, its located in SYSTEM/bin. So i think thats why is doesn't work.

Perhaps it might be that sin the SBIN but I'm not able to see it.

Anyhow I found in other Threats the verification Error on ICS but no one mentioned it on my 4.1.2 Release on the I9100G.

So why is it hurting me :(

I'm lost and hope someone is able to help me.

thanks for looking into.

any Idea how I can solve this without Wipeing again my phone or reinstalling some stuff with ODIN.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Suo.Eno:
Just try again if possible.

If your phone is still functioning normally, just download a fresh copy of that SU-BB-Installer.zip, place it into external sd and flash it through stock recovery. Only this method from the guide:-

Instructions (Root):

1. Download SU-BB-Installer.zip from here: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390233485161005747

2. Place it in your external sdcard.

3. Power off your device COMPLETELY.

4. Boot into recovery mode by pressing Volume up + Home + Power buttons simultaneously.

5. Navigate to "apply update from external storage" using the volume buttons.

6. Select it by pressing the Power button.

7. Select SU-BB-Installer.zip.

8. Wait for it to finish and navigate up (select "../").

9. Select "reboot system now".

10. Congratulations, you now have root and busybox!

Just that method and ignore the rest because the above does not require CWM and any sort of wipes.

Hello,

that is exactly what I did, The Size of the File is exactly the same, I will check it this evening.

Anyhow will keep you updated.

signature verification error while installing SU-BB_Install.zip

Me again, took some time but now I tried again to root my phone with SU_BB.

So I full wiped my phone out of the recovery Menu 3e.

After that the normal Startup Procedure of GB was running, please add WLAN, Accounts etc. At least I have now more memory again available but after that action, I tried to install the SU-BB_Installer.ZIP on the described way here in the forum.

Same result as before, I was not able to root my phone because of this

e:signature verification error.

Also the external SD Card was changed.

I step back from my analysis of where the Mount Program is stored. Looking in the Script it's also some output to the screen, that is not written to the screen.

I think due to this error nothing is installed, nor the script is executed due to the verification issue.

Asuming that all the ZIPs that I have on my SDCARD to install like CWM.ZIP and others are not hacked, all of them trying to install from the recovery menu fail with the same error message.

Verification error of the signature.

So what might cause this?

Can someone explain to me how this is working at what might have a negative influance to let the signature verification fail.

Thanks for your advice upfront.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neerajvd:
Sorry to disappoint you! Unfortunately for that, you have to have a custom rom.

As the theme description on Play Store says: "This is a theme for all ROMS that have the Theme engine enabled"

The theming of dialer, notification drawer, is possible only if you have root access.

With stock settings, you have to make do with launcher themes.
